on his arrival from Ottawa last

Eair last Thursday, Hagiwara
said that in 1957 Japan imported
from Canada $120 million worth
of goods but exported only $63
million.
“This is something that obvi
ously cannot continue indefini
tely.” he said. “But we hope the
solution will lie in our obtaining
more of the Canadian market
rather than our reducing our im
ports of ores, pulp, and wheat.”
Mr. Hagiwara said that 219
Japanese ships called at Vancou
ver last year—“This is second
only to the number calling at
U.S. Pacific ports.”
He said however that the ships
were coming into Vancouver

It was only the first of six
nights of the $20,000 gesture
from the Japanese people to B.C.,
but it seemed to express the complete success of the fair.
The
hour-long display began at 10:15

which began around 8 p.m. when
the ski jumping competition
started.
In addition to the crackling,
banging, multi-colored rockets, a
fiery' portrait of Queen Elizabeth
blazed on a wooden frame and a
model Niagara Falls toppled in

The international theme was
hammered home opening night
with the Vancouver Chinese

Mrs. Tucker naturally hopes

A graduate of Tokyo’s Meiji

The stuff made there, which
rates as one of Japan’s best

Nika Whiskey. You might call
this the spirit that moves him,
although of course you don't have
to.
Japan, naturally, hopes to do
well in the .1960 Olympics in both
the summei' and winter games.
Kasaya is a good bet to win a
point ox- two in the lattex- section

Vancouver a healthy step in that
direction.
Through his interpreter, a
pretty soft-spoken VancouverJapanese miss, named Jean Nikei, the slim youngster expressed
his humility in the presence of
such great jumpers as Finland’s
Juhani Karkinen (world champ)
and Ensio Hyytia. the No. 2 man,
both booked for the big stadium

But don’t let that humility fool
you; these Japanese can kill you
with it once the bell rings.
Kasaya's home is smack in the
middle of some of Japan’s finest
ski country, so he took naturally
to his favorite sport. It moved
along slowly for many years, but
is now in the throes of a majox'
boom.
It needs only an international
win by such as this kid from
Hokkaido to really blow this
boom wide. open.
“In Japan,” smiles he, “the
people are very enthusiastic
about sport. If they have a great
champion, everyone fights to
copy him.”
